Could Liferay please provide the community with an update on the status of the Social Office project? With over 14,000 views of the 'Social Office 2.0 And Liferay 6.1 Release?' thread there is obvious interest in Social Office. It has been over three years since the 1.5b version was released. I feel it would be unfortunate if this lack of progress and information sharing with the community forced existing and potential customers to abandon Social Office as a solution.

Thanks for your message and for your participation in the Liferay / Social Office community until now.

Vicki has been updating the various threads with our release dates from what I understand. In any case, to answer your question we have been furiously working on the release for the past several weeks. We've just run into a lot of inter-dependencies with 3-4 products and updates we are releasing at the same time. That's something for us to improve on in our engineering process and we've already implemented a more modular, iterative development process for 6.2 that should vastly improve our ability to release on time.

Meanwhile, we do have an alpha build that we've given to others in the community if you would like to check things out. We've since fixed a number of issues, however, so you might be best off waiting for the release.
